    Went this distance, for one reason or another. How telling or damning is it?

    Obviously no fighters of the 12 round era fit here.

    Sonny Liston never went 15 rounds, for instance.

    Mike Tyson.

    Thought he was in the era that transitioned to 12 rounds he did have a scheduled 15 rounder with Tyrelll Biggs.

    Tyson of course decided to close the show early.

    I was thinking Patterson, hhhmm i've never had to score a fight for him, but there was the disputed Ellis fight that went 15, that's his only one though.

    Whether he was a """"""great"""""" or not is one thing, but he was a world champion in the 15 round era....Paul Fuji....and Al Singer as well

    Went 15 vs Pintor. Apparently he was so distraught with the decision that he didn't fight for 7 years. I've seen far worse decisions.

    He was prematurely robbed of the opportunity to go this distance in the Peralta rematch. Maybe if he had, his mind set in Kinshasa would have been different when Ali took his Sunday punch in round five with a taunt.

    26 of his 29 knockouts in four rounds or less, 22 of those wins inside the amateur limit. The man definitely swung for the rafters.
